The Balcony

Your last plan involved the balcony around which you floated just moments before. You had a dumb enough hero for that - human of course, explains why he was that dumb - who you could have baited over the balcony and killed with the fall, but alas while waiting for the golem to finish his job he wobbled through you and erased you again. You look at your new targets. The pirate is slowly but steadily running out of health - he has no health potions and stupid as he was he seemed to have no real close-range weapons (didn't you already say that humans are just fucking stupid?) His friend on the other side who was a ranger, so more or less a long-ranged character but she appeared to have put her stats into agility and leveled up to be a bit of a speedster, because she only used her longsword with which she danced around in the middle of the battlefield always. She didn't really need health potions, because of her ridiculous speed she was always dodging the attacks that were aimed against her. On the other hand, when she was hit her health bar that appeared only shortly when it happened took a big hit. So maybe she had neglected her health for her speed. After a while they stop at the top of a stairway. In front of them is a big oak door. The Ranger looks at her friend apologetic while she says, "I am sorry, Brane" (wait a second is he really called brain? You chuckle to yourself at the irony) "But I only have one health potion with me, I’m gonna use it on myself." He just nods and picks another patch of throwing-daggers out of his backpack. (Seriously does he have only throwing-daggers, I mean yes you know that pirates are a new addon to the world, whatever that means, but you thought they would at least have some real close-range weapons) After a while, the ranger (of whom you still don't know the name of, but actually you don't really care do you?) already drank the potion looks at her companion and says "Okay let's do this, we will do it like with that wolf-pack-leader-boss-thingy, you stay back and i will draw its attention. I really wish Indria was here, we sure as hell could have needed a bit of tanking." (nope, you're quite happy they didn't take her with them, whoever that one is, this is going to be enough work as it already is)

The pirate agrees, and they open the door to enter the thrashed remains of what was once the sleeping area for the inhabitants of the castle. In the middle of the mess is sleeping the Meat-Giant (you never took a look at his character-sheet, but you are pretty sure his race is meat-giant, the god behind all of your existence has just a fucked-up sense of humor, but he could also be really cruel, but personally you tend to follow the thought of him being just totally lazy)

Behind the Giant on a small table lies the object of desire for the two heroes. They both realized pretty soon that you were following them, so they didn't care much about too many of the other shades. So, you and (as far as you can feel, must have to do something with your shadow-magic-thingy) six other shades are still alive and kicking somewhere in the ruin. (or well at least alive, since for kicking you and them would need a freeking body) The ranger tries to go silently around the sleeping meatbeanbag (you're not sure where you got that one from but it kind of fits, but well she made the mistake of trusting that her friend would be smart enough that he won't attack the monster. (but who are we kidding he is a human for fucks sake, far too stupid to even get the slightest tactics)

Well he throws one of his daggers into the beast. And with a growl it wakes up all the while thrashing its arms around. One of the seven arms (Seriously 3 on its left, 2 on his right side one at his head and one, well, one dangling between his legs just behind his multicolored penis) catches the sneaking ranger of guard and throws her across the room. While slowly standing up she secretly takes out a second health potion so that her friend can't see it. He is too busy throwing his daggers at the Giant slowly making his way towards the pirate, all the while using his ranged attack, which is throwing rotting flesh at his enemies (Even ghouls have better standards than this guy, for fucks sake). You float to a secure position and look at the carnage. The ranger quickly has her posture back and dashes towards the monster and with a quick slash hacks of one of his arms. The throwing-daggers not really doing anything (he even fucked up keeping the stronger ones till the end - did you already say humans are stupid? Yes, okay, never mind then) he took out his crossbow, but well, as it was crossbows took a fucking long time to reload so his friend hacked off more parts of the Meat-Giant while all the while dancing around him. After a long amount of jumping, running, slashing and the occasional bolt from the crossbow the being fell over and with a crash fell on its back. You heard the ding you had heard so often already of leveling up heroes. Both grin shortly at each other while you float slowly to the door to the balcony.

The Ranger loots the giant while the Pirate runs towards the dagger while screaming "Later, suckaaah." She doesn’t give too much attention to him, since she is looking at the nice package of gold the giant dropped. After a while though both see you floating and Brane (you can't stop chuckling at that name) tries to dash towards you (but, well that is not his strong suit, after using his brain this is difficult for him too, maybe you are not the most useless being in this world after all)

The ranger follows closely behind and only a short bit before them you float through the door (which you can float through but monsters and humans kill you when they touch you, how drunk was your creator? - actually not much, but well AT least tipsy ;) ) You float just at the edge of the balcony when they both come out of the balcony waiting for them to come through the door.
